Butterflies

This elegant collection of writings on butterflies and nature reveals Hermann Hesse’s inspired thoughts on change and its effects on our sense of beauty, soul, and wonderment. Joined with the artistry of Jakob Hübner, whose precise and beautiful engraved copper chalcography technique was among Mr. Hesse’s favorites, Butterflies: Reflections, Tales, and Verse inspires a window through which to see a butterfly’s cycle of life as also being a representation of our own transitions. This hardbound book measures 7 1/4 x 5 1/4 and has 136 pages.
